President Donald Trump tweet-attacked FBI Director James Comey’s sit down with Stephen Colbert this morning, insisting “Slippery James Comey” was “not fired because of the phony Russia investigation where, by the way, there was NO COLLUSION (except by the Dems)!”

Trump also told Russian officials he’d invited to the Oval Office the day after he fired Comey, “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job…I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off,” the New York Times reported back then, citing a White House document summarizing the meeting.

On Tuesday night’s Late Show, Colbert asked Comey if he was surprised Trump fired him as he was heading the Russia probe, given that “mob bosses” don’t like being investigated.

“A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!” Trump tweeted, breaking his social media silence on the seedy story that has been tearing up the TV turf for weeks now. Avenatti has already tweeted his thanks to Trump for taking the bait, crowing, “In my experience, there is nothing better in litigation than having a completely unhinged, undisciplined opponent who is prone to shooting himself in the foot. Always leads to BIGLY problems…like new claims (i.e. defamation). LOL #xmas #hanukkah #basta.”

And, less than 12 hours after the White House stated the Trump administration does not comment on the CIA director’s travel, Trump tweeted about the CIA director’s travel, confirming Mike Pompeo “met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week.” Trump tweet-beamed that the “meeting went very smoothly an a good relationship was formed,” adding, “Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea!”

Trump’s morning tweets:

Slippery James Comey, the worst FBI Director in history, was not fired because of the phony Russia investigation where, by the way, there was NO COLLUSION (except by the Dems)!

Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week. Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea!

In my experience, there is nothing better in litigation than having a completely unhinged, undisciplined opponent who is prone to shooting himself in the foot. Always leads to BIGLY problems…like new claims (i.e. defamation). LOL. #xmas#hanukkah#basta
